While White Panda confirmed no one was hurt in the incident, he noted on Reddit that the battery explosion was enough to trigger both smoke and CO alarms in his home. The outer shell of the machine appears to have cracked from the internal explosion and the scorching battery burned through part of the case, leaving parts of the silver body charred black. His machine can be seen with smoke billowing out of it. Earlier this month, musician White Panda shared a video of his 2015 MacBook Pro going up in flames from what he called "normal use." The artist said there was a small explosion that occurred just before he started filming. Overheating batteries are no joke, and there has already been at least one example of what happens when an at-risk MacBook Pro's battery goes unchecked. While we've all had our laptops run hot at some point - specifically when there are more than 30 tabs open in Google Chrome - Apple warns that in this case, the batteries can get hot enough to "pose a safety risk." According to the company, some units of the laptop contain a battery that can overheat. Apple announced this week that it is issuing a voluntary recall on its 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina Display.
